Really? I just used a passkey for the very first time with Google and Bitwarden and it worked quite nicely. What about passkeys is worse for you?

True, but social media amplifies the dumb shit and creates new incentives and pressures to join the idiot herd. And while TikTok is definitely not the only problem, it is a problem.

That’s only true if you’re a large corporation doing it.

I’ve been doing home networking for many years now and the public Domain + Cloudflare DNS + Let’s Encrypt is the easiest it’s ever been.

There is really no reason to use self-signed anymore. I use Let’s Encrypt even for 10.0.0.0/8 addresses.

Our phones back then were actual potatoes and we wore them next to the turnip on our belt, as was the fashion back then.

I think that’s wishful thinking. The vast majority of people simply don’t give a shit. While the enshittification of Windows continues, Linux numbers will slowly go up. But I’ll be quite surprised if I see it go over some significant margin like, say, 25% during my lifetime.

I am so old that I worked with SGML. Compared to that, XML is a lovely language. And sometimes I still miss writing XSLT to quickly transform some XML documents. These days you can do similar things with JSON, of course. But it’s not as easy and standardized as the XML tooling.

Oops, I did it again

Bullshit. I’ve known of him for many years now, ever since he sold out his buddies to the police and worked for an infamous lawyer who sent out copyright infringement notes (!). He’s an asshole, always has been.

This fucking guy is not a good poster child for wrongful persecution. Yes, the copyright stuff is complete bullshit. But the guy has been an asshole and a criminal for all his adult life. Let him go to jail, if a judge decides so.

How is that different than what Go, for example, does? An if err != nil after each statement is just as annoying. In the end you have to validate almost all return values and the way it happens is just syntax.

The exception is part of the method signature and thus part of the return value. I don’t see a difference between using if or try-catch to validate a method call.

It’s a domain with hosts that all resolve to private IP addresses. I don’t care if someone manages to see hosts like vaultwarden, cloud, docs or photos through enumeration if they all resolve to 10.0.0.0/8 addresses. Setting up a private resolver and private PKI is just too much of a bother.

I found options like .local and now .internal way too long for my private stuff. So I managed to get a two-letter domain from some obscure TLD and with Cloudflare as DNS I can use Caddy to get Let’s Encrypt certs for hosts that resolve to 10.0.0.0/8 IPs. Caddy has plugins for other DNS providers, if you don’t want to go with Cloudflare.

I couldn’t find a picture of the most made-up sounding real name I have ever heard: Colonel Sturmhard Eisenkeil (Stormhard Ironwedge) of the German army.

The Turkish guy, Yusuf Dikec, is my spirit animal.

I am shocked that an AI company would do this. This is unprecedented.

It’s just that he has enormously long arms.

Fascists buying crap from an oligarch.
